Film & Visual Culture and German Studies have a long tradition of 
excellence at Aberdeen. German has been taught at Aberdeen since the 
1890s, with areas of strength in German literature and cultural history 
from the Romantic period to the present day, ecocriticism, studies of 
identity and affect, translation studies, and comparative literature. 
The combination of Film with Visual Culture is unique in Scotland. 
Research strengths of the unit include feminist media theory, the visual 
culture of contemporary science and medicine, contemporary performance 
art in Eastern Europe, history and theory of documentary, and 
practice-as-research in documentary and narrative film. Many of these 
strengths are reflected in the research centres hosted by the School, 
including the Washington Wilson Centre for Visual Culture and the 
Grierson Centre for Textual Criticism and Comparative Literary History.

The appointment will contribute equally to the work of both disciplines, 
including the development of shared courses as appropriate. The School 
also has an exciting track record of public engagement and 
impact-related activities to which the successful candidate will make 
their own contribution.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Grade 7 scale (£39,324- 
£46,924 per annum), with placement according to qualifications and 
experience.
